Dialogue

Maria:Sto bene! (I'm good!) And you? Still recovering from last night?

Ezio:I have no idea what you're talking about.

Maria:Of course not. Anyway, I have an errand to run. I'd like you to join me.

Ezio:Con piacere. (With pleasure.)

Maria:Come. It's not far from here.

Maria asking Ezio for help with an errand

Ezio and his mother walked to their destination together.

Maria:I know about your fight with Vieri...

Ezio:What fight?

Maria:Per piacere, (Please,) let's not play this game.

Ezio:He spoke ill of us. I could not allow him to continue.

Maria:I'm sure he's having a hard time dealing with the accusations against his father. Francesco de' Pazzi is many things – and none of them good. But even I never suspected he'd be capable of murder.

Maria:Self expression is vital to understanding and enjoying life. You should find an outlet.

Ezio:I have plenty of outlets.

Maria:I meant besides vaginas.

Ezio:Mother!

Leonardo arriving with the paintings

Leonardo returned with a box containing paintings.

Leonardo:Back to your house, then?

Maria:Sì. Sì. (Yes. Yes.) Ezio, help Leonardo, will you?

Ezio carried the box all the way to his home.

Leonardo:So, Ezio, what do you do?

Maria:He's been working for his father.

Leonardo:Ah! You're to be a banker?

Ezio:For now. And you? Art, was it?

Leonardo:Truth be told, it's been difficult for me to settle. Painting is nice, but I often feel like my work lacks... I don't know... purpose. Does that make sense? I'd rather contribute more practically. More directly, Architecture, perhaps. Or anatomy. I'm not content to merely to capture the world. I want to change it.
